From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031104

I installed Mozilla 0.9.9 a few days ago and set up the mail client to check my
mail on an IMAP server. The next day, I launched Mozilla again, and when I chose
Mail & News Groups from the Tasks pull down menu, the new account wizard popped
up and I had to renter all my information again. The addresses the I imported in
to the address book were also gone. This happened a few days in a row. Today,
after reentering my email info, I launched Mozilla a few times to see what would
happen, and it retained my info. The one thing I did in between the previous
launches was check my email from my office, with Mozilla 0.9.8. 

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run mozilla mail client on one machine 
2. run mozilla mail client on another machine 
3. run mozilla mail client on the first machine again

Actual Results:  The loss of my address book and mail settings

Expected Results:  The client should have retained my mail settings and address book

I'm running Windows XP Home Edition at home and Windows 2000 Server Addition at
work. At home I have no other versions of Mozilla or Netscape installed on my
machine, and at work I have Netscape 6.1 installed in addition to Mozilla 0.9.8.

WinXP / 2002053012 / JRE 1.4.0-rc

this bug was encountered using an old (3+ weeks) build of Mozilla, if this bug
persists using a current build, please get this bug reopened.
